Fixing Rollover Equity Agreement Errors
Rollover equity agreements can be powerful tools for sellers to share in the future upside of a business after an acquisition — but when structured poorly, they often lead to problems like limited liquidity, restricted rights, and unexpected tax exposure. Fixing these errors means separating equity from employment terms, independently verifying valuations, and negotiating clear governance, liquidity, and tax provisions. With proper legal, tax, and valuation guidance, sellers can turn a risky rollover into a well-structured, wealth-building investment.
